MainNet's Broadband Powerline Communications Facilitate Multi-WiFi Access Point Networking at The Meridien (Eilat) Hotel
MainNet Teams With Gugi Communication in Meridien Hotel Project to Provide Broadband Internet Services Everywhere
RAANANA, Israel, October 30 // -- MainNet Communications, a leader in the broadband over powerline communications (BPL/PLC) market, today announced that The Meridien Hotel
(Eilat) has chosen MainNet's Plus(TM) system and Gugi Communication's
integration services to offer their guests immediately available, advanced
communication services anywhere in the hotel's facilities and areas.
MainNet's Plus solution turns any electrical outlet into a broadband
access point. Having installed a WiFi for broadband Internet communications
in the hotel's service cabinets - Meridien, a member of the Fattal Hotels
Group in Israel - was seeking to simplify connectivity between each of these
WiFi demarcation points and the communications server center. Using MainNet's
broadband powerline solution, the hotel was able to connect its system's WiFi
units without the need for any new wiring infrastructure thus avoiding any
disturbances to its guests as well as saving the associated costs.
The Meridien Hotel (Eilat), can now provide advanced Internet services
anywhere on the hotel premises via WiFi gateways in private rooms, in the
reception hall, the SPA, or even in the swimming pool area, all done with a
plug-and-play application. This is implemented by using MainNet's solution
enabling broadband communication access over the existing electrical network
in a typical MxU network topology.
According to Shay Asia, General Manager of The Meridien (Eilat) Hotel,
"Fattal puts high emphasis on offering our guests comfortable hospitality
premises with the latest and most innovative technology available. We found
MainNet's system with Gugi Communication's professional integration team to
be the most cost effective solution for us. Not only are we now able to offer
our guests easy-to-use high quality internet access everywhere in the hotel,
but the installation and operation of the Plus solution was done in a swift,
one-day installation, causing no interruption to our guests whatsoever. This
was exactly the solution we were looking for.
Amit Yudan, VP Marketing & Sales of MainNet Communications, said, "We are
extremely satisfied with teaming up with Gugi Communication for the
installation and operation of our Plus(TM) solutions at The Meridien Hotel.
We are pleased to learn that our BPL/PLC solution made it possible for The
Meridien Hotel to very quickly enabled broadband communications everywhere."
"MainNet's intelligent broadband communications Plus solution seems to be
the only available solution in the market today that truly does not require
re-wiring or any complex configurations," said Ophir Shachar, Gugi
Communication's CEO. "These unique features make MainNet's BPL/PLC the most
cost effective solution to fit into any working environment. We are now
looking forward to new projects and making our mark in the MxU marketplace
offering broadband communications over existing power grids."
MainNet Communications will showcase its Plus(TM) Solutions at Telecom
Israel, Booth #17, on November 06-08, 2006 featuring Smart Grid and Broadband
